We do our best to ensure prices on our website are correct, however it is possible for mistakes to be made. Therefore we reserve the right not to accept an order placed on our website if we discover an error has been made with the advertised price, or any error relating to the contents of a package offered at a specific price (e.g. we advertise a package contains 8 items, when it should only contain 4).
Pre-release reservation Where we supply prices for items before they have been released we will supply a price for which we expect the item to sell. Should circumstances beyond our control result in price changes (up or down) we will contact you to confirm if you will accept the amended price.
All orders are subject to acceptance and availability. If the goods ordered are not available, you will be notified by e-mail (or by other means if no e-mail address has been provided) and you will have the option either to wait until the item is available from stock or to cancel your order.
Your credit/debit card will be charged at the time of order in order to secure the goods.
If we have to part ship an order, due to temporary stock shortage, subsequent part shipments will not carry a delivery charge. We will always try to let you know if an item is out of stock at the time when you place your order. If, however, you order new release items, we shall hold the order until all items are in stock unless you agree to pay an additional shipping charge.
We reserve the right to refuse a sale. Any orders placed by you will be treated as an offer to purchase the goods or services from us and we have the right to reject such offers at any time.

If, using our currency selector, you have chosen to display our prices in Euros or US Dollars instead of UK Pounds; you will still be charged and invoiced in UK Pounds sterling, as we do not accept foreign currency. At the point of payment, your card-issuing bank will convert the amount paid in UK pounds to Euros or US Dollars using their current exchange rate. Please bear in mind our currency display is a guide and that your bank exchange rate may be different to our online display and will reflect on your card statement.

Eclipse Sound & Lighting uses Email as the primary communication method for information about dispatch and for dealing with warranty and support. Therefore customers must provide a valid, working email address and this should be kept up to date. If new purchases are made, or warranty or support tickets are opened and the email address registered has changed it is the customer’s responsibility to inform Eclipse Sound & Lighting as soon as possible.
It is also important that Eclipse Sound & Lighting emails do not get caught in Spam filters. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure Spam filters, grey listing, or other email restrictions do not block our emails.
Eclipse Sound & Lighting cannot accept any responsibility for delays in warranty or support caused by the customer not updating the account email address or emails being blocked by email restrictions on systems outside of Eclipse Sound & Lightings’ control.
